“I’m very optimistic that they will perform well,” Eguavoen told reporters.
“The first game is always very important, the first game will determine how far we will go.
“Because if anything goes wrong in the first game, then the team becomes jittery, but with the quality of players we have, I think they are good enough to handle any kind of pressure and I’m looking at a very good performance.”
The Super Falcons will begin their campaign against Canada at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on Thursday.
The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup which will be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand will run from July 20 to August 20.
